Can you type without looking at your keyboards?  email this discussion to a friend?

I think I can. But, I need to look which key I would put my fingers on first before I can start typing without looking at the keyboard. How about you?

yes, i can type now without looking on the keyboard because i always play the game about typing fast like, typing sharks - if you are slow in typing you will be eaten by a shark. everyone can be expert on typing it'll just take a little practice.


myLot reputation of 96/100. nrtan2000 (1104)  3 years ago

hi sutsag! yes, i agree. More than 10 years ago, we used to have this "typing tutor" in school, wherein we're timed on how fast we can type and tested how accurate we can type without looking at the keyboards. I guess it's just like sharks that you're talking about. The difference is that yours is a game. =) Thanks for your response.

I will not be able to do so. Until now, I will still have to type looking at the keyboard. I had tried sometime ago to learn to type without looking at the keyboard. However, I had failed badly, and the whole document had a lot of typo errors. Even with some practising again and again, I did not manage to learn the art of typing without looking at the keyboard. I give up after that.


myLot reputation of 96/100. nrtan2000 (1104)  3 years ago

Hi gcorp! Practice makes perfect. You can use microsoft word to type the documents and there's this correction thing there that corrects your typo errors. It's just like practicing. =) Or there are other programs that help you improve. anyway, thanks for your response!


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (545)   ranked 996 out of 1,206 in internet  3 years ago

Yes, I did try before. However, it's sad to say it's very hard for me. In addition, I end up being even slower than before. So I just give up with this idea.

I am very poor at typing. I would like to attend courses for typing so that I can type fast without any difficulty. But a lot of time will be wasted if you are attending such courses. So I thought it as a bad idea.
I checked my typing skill with a software and the result was very funny. My speed is shown as just 20 words per minute and that's very slow. Anyway, I just want to improve my typing speed. It's very needed in future.


myLot reputation of 96/100. nrtan2000 (1104)  3 years ago

Maybe you can find some other softwares that may help imrpove typing skills like games. That way, you won't get bored and you'll enjoy and get more encouraged instead. Hehe. I believe that continuous typing will also help you type faster, so even without the tutorials, you can improve your typing skills by just typing and typing here in mylot. Anyway, thank you for your response. Good luck! =)

hi nrtan2000!

I can type without looking at the keyboard. It takes a lot of practice but that’s well worth the effort and time. Every day practice typing a sentence or two without looking at the keyboard until you master the keys by heart without mistakes. In know time you will see improvement in your typing skills.

happy have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 96/100. nrtan2000 (1104)  3 years ago

Hi dasani! That's good. Now you can type continuously as long as you can. Yes, mastering the keys by heart, I guess that's how I learned to type better than before. THanks! =)

Yes, I can. I think it's called touch-typing on a qwerty keyboard. Notice the bumps on the letters F and J - when you feel them, put your left and right index fingers over them without looking and type away. :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. nrtan2000 (1104)  3 years ago

Hi dana!haha. Thanks for the info, I haven't noticed them for more than 10 years.. not until now. LOL. =))

I can type without looking at the keyboard..I often type without looking unintentionally; it's sort of become a habit of mine. It freaked out one of my friends last year when I wrote something in a Word processor as I turned around to hear what she was saying. I guess she isn't able to do such a thing herself; I don't know many people who can't. That or I'm not aware of the people in my life who can't type without looking at the keyboard.


myLot reputation of 96/100. nrtan2000 (1104)  3 years ago

SOunds like you've got a good habit. I myself haven't done such a thing like that either. hehe Thanks for your response.

I have used computer for quite a long time. So typing without looking at my keyboard is no problem at all. Actually this is how I type:)

That's nice. It's really a hassle if you've got a hard time typing because it's time consuming. Thanks! =)
